Abstract
AIM OF STUDY: To measure length and width of Cruciate Ligaments and to observe for any variations in the parameters. PERIOD OF STUDY: 2008-2011. MATERIALS AND METHODS: 100 disarticulated limbs were collected from department of anatomy, Kakatiya Medical College, Warangal. Telangana. Which were preserved in 10% formalin, 50 MRIs of Knee joint were studied and measurements were taken from Vijaya Diagnostic center, Hanamkonda, Warangal, Telangana. To expose cruciate ligament a systematic dissection procedure has been adopted. The cruciate ligaments were exposing and their attachments were defined on to the femur and tibia. OBSERVATIONS: Average of parameters for anterior and posterior cruciate ligaments were calculated for all 100 limbs and 50 knee joint MRI scans. The observations were similar to the previous studies. CONCLUSION: The parameters which were measure are help full in selection and preparation of the graft and in re construction of ligaments. The aim of reconstruction is not just to substitute a torn ligament, but to restore the morphology inherent in the ligament.
